For the second season running New Zealand's four leading designers, Karen Walker, Nom D, World and Zambesi pool their talents to deliver four very diverse collections under the NZ4 label. First off is Walker's boyish womenswear collection that uses both traditional and new materials for baseball tops and a-line skirts. Nom D's knits are Victoriana inspired in soft baby blues, teamed with contrasting cylindrical shapes and silk skirts. World takes on a 'Transformers' theme with aluminium and denim trims on basic cotton trousers and tops. Finally Zambesi's tailoring is updated with unusual raffia finishes for a new take on the trouser suit. Antique floral printed drawstring trousers and draped tops add a pretty feminine touch.
